NOAA OLR Long-Term Means

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Outgoing Longwave Radiation (OLR) Long-Term Means

Climatologies for each month have been made using the data after 1978 so that 13 years have been averaged. No attempt has been made to correct for biases introduced into the data by sampling problems or changes in the analysis method.
